My wife and both enjoyed the original very much and find the reboot to be very good so far. It's a nice balance of heart and humor. Could do without so much laugh track, you're trying too hard and it's annoying. It's a very good start and we hope it continues.

BUT!!!!!!! Where is the theme song??? This unicorns and tissue paper synthesizer thingy you're using is pathetic! KICK IN THE BASS!

This will never match the original without it!

Look up original theme song. It's all over YT. In 10 seconds you'll hear the difference. And the soprano sax adds so much that musician should have won an award for that performance.

I've never played HALO. But I was generally interested in the show and it was growing on me. Until this one. Who thought a show spawned from a video game should have an episode without any action focusing on the odd, random characters? At least the little girl (Kwan) didn't throw the Master Chief around as if the laws of physics didn't apply. The common trope of small humans being able to beat up huge ones is so common in TV/movies these days but it's still laughable.

No matter what version of the show they have presented (the bizarre Klingons, the TOS prequel, jumping 900 in the future, etc.) each has overwhelmingly failed to capture viewers interest or remotely resemble the Trek that came before. Now they are also screwing up the "behind the scenes" aspect of the show by jumping the shark with stunt casting a failed politician. The show runners have no shame, no talent and no idea how to do Star Trek.....
